2016-11-17erts: Refactor crash dumping with cbprintfSverker Eriksson
Instead of passing around a file descriptor use a function pointer to facilitate more advanced backend write logic such as size limitation or compression.
2016-04-29erts: Fix system_info({allocator_sizes, mseg_alloc})Sverker Eriksson
will now return [{instance,0,[{segments_size,9961472,9961472,11010048}]}, {instance,1,[{segments_size,6291456,6291456,6815744}]}, {instance,2,[{segments_size,524288,524288,786432}]}, {instance,3,[{segments_size,1048576,1048576,1835008}]}, {instance,4,[{segments_size,0,0,262144}]}] and not just empty lists.

2016-04-15erts: Add 'exec_alloc' for hipe codeSverker Eriksson
that uses its own super carrier (erts_exec_mmapper) to guarantee low addressed and executable memory (PROT_EXEC). Currently only used on x86_64 that needs low memory for HiPE/AMD64's small code model. By initializing erts_exec_mapper early we secure its low memory area before erts_literal_mmapper might steal it.

And remove old case of using only page alignment (12 bits).

2013-09-30erts: erts_mmap supercarrier management and erts_mseg usageRickard Green
* Coalescing and trimming of free segments in supercarrier * Management of super aligned and super unaligned areas in supercarrier * Management of reservation of physical memory * erts_mseg usage of erts_mmap

2013-09-25Implement platform specific aligned sys_alloc and use when supportedRickard Green
erts_sys_aligned_alloc() is currently implemented using posix_memalign if it exist, or using _aligned_malloc on Windows. If erts_sys_aligned_alloc() exist allocators will create sys_alloc carriers similar to how this was done pre-R16.
2013-05-06erts: Change some more 'long' to pointer sized int (ErlDrvUInt)Sverker Eriksson
2013-02-11erts: Increase default #cached segments to 10Björn-Egil Dahlberg
Previous default was 5.

2012-12-14erts: Set super alignment (256kb) and limits for sbct (8Mb) and lmbcs (128Mb)Sverker Eriksson
2012-12-14erts: Reintroduce mseg options amcbf and rmcbfBjörn-Egil Dahlberg

2012-12-14erts: Use aligned bits as constant in mseg_allocBjörn-Egil Dahlberg
HAVE_SUPER_ALIGNED_MB_CARRIERS is always true with mmap and thus aligned bits is a constant and so is "page" size for mmap. Conflicts: erts/emulator/sys/common/erl_mseg.h

2012-11-13erts: New mseg allocator cacheBjörn-Egil Dahlberg
* utilize the power of two
2011-11-13Optimize memory allocationRickard Green
A number of memory allocation optimizations have been implemented. Most optimizations reduce contention caused by synchronization between threads during allocation and deallocation of memory. Most notably: * Synchronization of memory management in scheduler specific allocator instances has been rewritten to use lock-free synchronization. * Synchronization of memory management in scheduler specific pre-allocators has been rewritten to use lock-free synchronization. * The 'mseg_alloc' memory segment allocator now use scheduler specific instances instead of one instance. Apart from reducing contention this also ensures that memory allocators always create memory segments on the local NUMA node on a NUMA system.

2010-03-10Store pointers to heap data in 32-bit wordsPatrik Nyblom
Store Erlang terms in 32-bit entities on the heap, expanding the pointers to 64-bit when needed. This works because all terms are stored on addresses in the 32-bit address range (the 32 most significant bits of pointers to term data are always 0). Introduce a new datatype called UWord (along with its companion SWord), which is an integer having the exact same size as the machine word (a void *), but might be larger than Eterm/Uint. Store code as machine words, as the instructions are pointers to executable code which might reside outside the 32-bit address range. Continuation pointers are stored on the 32-bit stack and hence must point to addresses in the low range, which means that loaded beam code much be placed in the low 32-bit address range (but, as said earlier, the instructions themselves are full words). No Erlang term data can be stored on C stacks (enforced by an earlier commit). This version gives a prompt, but test cases still fail (and dump core). The loader (and emulator loop) has instruction packing disabled. The main issues has been in rewriting loader and actual virtual machine. Subsystems (like distribution) does not work yet.
